WARNING

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-

ing, drilling, and other construction activities contains

chemicals known to the State of California to cause

cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and

other masonry products.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated

lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on

how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated

area, and work with approved safety equipment, such

as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil

-

ter out microscopic particles.

Additional Safety for Canister Dust Collectors

6. AVOIDING FIRES. Do not allow steel to

strike against impeller which may produce

a spark. Sparks can smolder in wood dust

for a long time before fire or flame is detect

-

ed. If metal contacts metal during opera

-

tion, immediately turn off the dust collector,

unplug the power cord from the outlet or

flip the disconnect switch and wait for all

moving parts to stop. Remove collection

bags and empty the dust into an approved

air tight metal container in case of spark.

Remedy the metal to metal contact problem

before resuming operation.

7. OPERATIONAL QUESTIONS. If at any

time you are experiencing difficulties per

-

forming the intended operation, stop using

the machine! Then contact our service

department or ask a qualified expert how

the operation should be performed.

8. DUST HAZARD. Be aware that certain

woods may cause an allergic reaction

in people and animals, especially when

exposed to fine dust. Make sure you know

what type of wood dust you will be exposed

to in case there is a possibility of an allergic

reaction. Always wear an approved respira

-

tor!

1. MACHINE USE. Do not use this dust col-

lector to pick up liquids and metal scrap

including, but not limited to, nails and fil

-

ings. Metallic debris will contact the spin-

ning impeller and could spark. The spark

could then cause a sawdust explosion or

severe fire hazard. Also, do not pick up

material which cannot safely pass through

the impeller such as solid wood scraps.

2. KEEPING FINGERS SAFE. Do not place

your hands or tools near the open inlet du

r-

ing operation for any reason including, but

not limited to, unclogging material and test

-

ing suction. The impeller could cause seri

-

ous damage to body parts if touched while

spinning.

3. SAFE SERVICING. Disconnect power and

allow impeller to come to a complete stop

before servicing or working on the dust col

-

lector ducting system.

4. SUSPENDED DUST PARTICLES AND

IGNITION SOURCES. Do not operate the

dust collector in areas where explosion risks

would be high if dust were dispersed into

the area. Areas of high risk include, but are

not limited to, areas near pilot lights and/or

open flames.

5. EMPTYING BAGS. When emptying dust

from the collection bags, wear a respira-

tor and safety glasses. Empty dust into an

approved container and dispose of prop

-

erly.

No list of safety guidelines can be com-

plete. Every shop environment is different.

Always consider safety first, as it applies

to your individual working conditions. Use

this and other machinery with caution and

respect. Failure to follow guidelines could

result in serious personal injury, damage to

equipment or poor work results.

DO NOT use the dust collector for any

other purpose besides collecting dust from

connected woodworking machines. A dust

collector should NEVER be used as an air

cleaner. For safest use, wear a respirator

and use an air cleaner in addition to the

dust collector.

A fire may occur if your particular electrical

configuration does not comply with local and

state codes. The best way to ensure compli

-

ance is to check with your local municipality

or a qualified electrician.

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit

are capable of handling the amperage draw from

your machine, as well as any other machines that

could be operating on the same circuit. If you are

unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

G0583 1 HP Canister Dust Collector -9-

Electrocution or a fire

can result if the machine

is not grounded cor

-

rectly. Make sure all

electrical circuits are

grounded. DO NOT use

the machine if it is not

grounded.

We do not recommend the use of extension cords

with 220V equipment. Instead, arrange the place

-

ment of your equipment and the installed wiring

to eliminate the need for extension cords. Should

the situation be necessary to use an extension,

make sure the cord is rated Standard Service

(grade S) or better. The extension cord must also

contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair

or replace extension cords when they become

worn or damaged.

NOTICE

The wire on the power cord with green or

green and yellow striped insulation is the

grounding conductor.

In the event of an electrical short, grounding

reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a

path of least resistance to disperse electric cur

You have many choices regarding dust collection

ducting, but flexible hose is the most common.

However, be aware that there is a fire or explo

-

sion hazard if plastic duct material is used for

dust collection without being grounded against

static electrical charge build-up. This topic will be

discussed later in the manual.

Metal Rigid Duct

Metal ducting comes in many varieties, make

sure that what you use is suitable for dust

collection. Advantages of metal ducting is its

conductivity and that it does not contribute to

static electrical charge build-up. However, static

charges are still produced when dust particles

strike other dust particles as they move through

the ducting. Since metal ducting is a conductor,

it can be grounded quite easily to dissipate any

static electrical charges. However, metal ducting

is generally more expensive than plastic duct

-

ing and it is not usually airtight unless specifi

-

cally manufactured for dust collection. Specially

manufactured metal ducting, on the other hand,

is quite expensive. Metal ducting is also gener

-

ally more difficult to cut and assemble.

Plastic Flexible Duct

Flexible rubber hose, polyethylene, plastic flex-

hose and other flexible ribbed hose is generally

used for short runs, small shops, and at rigid

duct-to-tool connections. There are many dif

-

ferent types of flex hose on the market today.

These are manufactured from materials such as

polyethylene, PVC, cloth hose dipped in rubber

and even metal, including steel and aluminum.

The Model G0583 is designed to be a single-

machine dust collector. Locate the dust collec

-

tor where it will not interfere with the workpiece

being processed, and no more than 10' of duct

-

ing is used, otherwise the CFM will be reduced.

To solve dust collection questions, Grizzly offers

a guide book entitled Canister Dust Collection

Basics that will help you design your system.

Whatever system you choose, always make sure

there are no open flames or pilot lights in the

same room as the dust collector. There is a risk

of explosion if dust is dispersed into the air.

SECTION 4: COLLECTION SYSTEM

G0583 1 HP Canister Dust Collector -17-

Since plastic hose is abundant, relatively inex-

pensive, easily assembled and air tight, it is a

very popular material for conveying dust from

woodworking machines to the dust collector. We

recommend using flexible hose (flex-hose) to

connect the woodworking machine to the dust

collector. However, plastic flex-hose and plastic

ducting are an insulator, and dust particles mov

-

ing against the walls of the plastic duct create a

static electrical build up. This charge will build

until it discharges to a ground. If a grounding

medium is not available to prevent static electrical

build up, the electrical charge will arc to the near-

est grounded source. This electrical discharge

may cause an explosion and subsequent fire

inside the system.

To protect against static electrical build up inside

a non-conducting duct, a bare copper wire should

be placed inside the duct along its length and

grounded to the dust collector. You must also

confirm that the dust collector is continuously

grounded through the electrical circuit to the elec

-

tric service panel.

Always guard against

static electrical build up

by grounding all dust

collection lines.

There are also many kinds of pure plastic flex-

ible hose, such as non-perforated drainage type

hose and dryer vent hose. Drainage type hose,

while being economical, does not quite have the

flexibility required for dust collection. The inside

of the duct is also deeply corrugated and can

increase the static pressure loss by as much as

50% over smooth wall duct. Dryer vent hose,

while being completely flexible, is non-resistant

to abrasion and has a tendency to collapse in a

negative pressure system.

If using flex-hose, you should choose one of the

many types that are designed specifically for

the movement of solid particles, i.e. dust, grains

and plastics. However, the cost of specifically

designed flexible duct can vary greatly. Grizzly

offers polyethylene hose, which is well suited for

the removal of particulate matter, especially saw

-

dust, since it is durable and completely flexible.

Polyethylene is also very economical and avail

-

able in a wide variety of diameters and lengths for

most applications.

Plastic Rigid Duct

The popularity of plastic duct is due to the fact that

it is an economical and readily available product.

It is also simple to assemble and easily sealed

against air loss. The primary disadvantage of

plastic duct for Canister Dust collection, whether

black ABS or white PVC and even rubber or

polyethylene flex-hose, is the inherent danger of

static electrical build-up.

Duct Grounding

-18- G0583 1 HP Canister Dust Collector

Be sure that you extend the bare copper wire

down all branches of the system. Do not forget

to connect the wires to each other with wire nuts

when two branches meet at a “Y” or “T” connec

-

tion.

Ensure that the entire system is grounded. If

using plastic blast gates to direct air flow, the

grounding wire must be jumped (

Figure 14)

around the blast gate without interruption to the

grounding system.

plastic blast gates or elbows and metal duct.

We also recommend wrapping the outside of all

plastic ducts with bare copper wire to ground the

outside of the system against static electrical

build up. Wire connections at Y’s and T’s should

be made with wire nuts.

Attach the bare ground wire to each stationary

woodworking machine and attach the canister

dust collector frame with a ground screw as

shown in

Figure 15. Ensure that each machine is

continuously grounded to the grounding terminal

in your electric service panel.
